And, I have been wondering, does it compare the 'SAME' positions. I.e. do
women doctors make less than male doctors, and female secretaries less than
male secretaries, etc.? If not, then the 70 or 84% figure reflects the fact
that women generally end up in lower paying positions. A totally different,
but still significantly important, issue.
